into a rental in a heartbeat. I probably would also taken the risk and turned the prior ones into rentals.
I have been a landlord since 1974.
Yes, I had negative cash flow on a few for a short period of time. I have never had one go vacant longer than a month. I have 15 of them now. Risk. Reward. They are all paid for now.
I wish I had a dozen 3% mortgages. Cash flow will be great.
